Being affectionately desirous (ὁμειρόμενοι)

N.T.o. Once in lxx, Job 3:21. The figure of the nursing mother is continued. She is not satisfied with nursing the child, but interests herself affectionately in all that concerns it.

We were willing (ηὐδοκοῦμεν)

Better, we were pleased. Imperfect tense: we continued to entertain and manifest our affectionate solicitude. The verb occasionally in later Greek, and often in lxx. In N.T. it is used of God's decrees, as Luk 12:32; 1Co 1:21; Gal 1:15; Col 1:19; and of the free determination and plans of men, as Rom 15:26; 2Co 5:8; 1Th 3:1.

Souls (ψυχάς)

Better lives. See on Rom 11:3; see on 1Co 15:45; see on Mar 12:30.
